Not sure that another capital in the world counts as many small shops per square meter as To ? kyo kyo. They're everywhere, on the ground floor, upstairs and basement. Some Western apparel brands are better represented in Japan than in Europe. Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Ginza... the list of neighborhoods for shopping is long. Good advice, provide room in his suitcases so that he can return his purchases

Last moment in Tokyo before joining Europe. Maybe the opportunity to eat sushi again!
